While the park keeps the trails fairly clear of blowdowns, the path is rutted and washed out on steep inclines.  There are multiple spur trails as general public wanders and makes shortcuts between the campground and the lake.
Well worn path with detours as the trees fall and shoreline crumbles into the lake.  The park has installed RR ties steps at several places.

The park map brochure (link below) calls this trail "Holston Bluffs" while the trail signs say "Holston Bluff".  The park literature also states 1.0 mile distance, while the sign at the overflow campground gate and actual measurements from trailhead sign shows a 0.5 mile hike available.  The difference is likely that this trail originally began over at Fall Creek Road as an extension from Lake Shore Trail, but that section has been abandoned due to narrow path with steep sheer dropoff, thus very dangerous.
The park map brochure (link below) incorrectly displays where the "Connector Trail" splits off.

At the trailhead by the campground entrance, there is a set of benches placed by the Ulster Project, which works with Northern Ireland teenagers to enable leadership and reconciliation between Protestants and Catholics. The program hosts the youth in US cities during July to work on a series of projects and tour the area. These benches were placed in the 90s.
